1.Click Add Features in the Features Summary section on the main page of Server Manager.

2.Select the SNMP Services checkbox.

3.Click Next, then Install.

Uninstalling the LANDesk Software Agent

If the Core Server has LANDesk agents on it from a previous Management Suite release, it will fail the autorun prerequisite check. You must remove the old agents by running uninstallwinclient.exe from the \Program Files\LANDesk\ ManagementSuite folder.

Using the remote presence capability and blue-screen capture

The remote presence and blue-screen capture features are integrated functions of the integrated management module (IMM). When IMM Premium is installed in the server, it activates the remote presence functions. IMM Premium is required to enable the integrated remote presence and blue-screen capture features. Without IMM Premium, you will not be able to access the network remotely to mount or unmount drives or images on the client system. However, you can still access the Web interface without the key.

After IMM Premium is installed in the server, it is authenticated to determine whether it is valid. If the key is not valid, you receive a message from the Web interface (when you attempt to start the remote presence feature) indicating that the hardware key is required to use the remote presence feature.

IMM Premium has an LED. When this LED is lit and green, it indicates that the key is installed and functioning correctly. When the LED is not lit, it indicates that the key might not be installed correctly.

The remote presence feature provides the following functions:

vRemotely viewing video with graphics resolutions up to 1280 x 1024 at 75 Hz, regardless of the system state

vRemotely accessing the server, using the keyboard and mouse from a remote client

vMapping the CD or DVD drive, diskette drive, and USB flash drive on a remote client, and mapping ISO and diskette image files as virtual drives that are available for use by the server

vUploading a diskette image to the IMM memory and mapping it to the server as a virtual drive

The blue-screen capture feature captures the video display contents before the IMM restarts the server when the IMM detects an operating-system hang condition. A system administrator can use the blue-screen capture to assist in determining the cause of the hang condition.

Enabling the remote presence feature

To enable the remote presence feature, complete the following steps:

1.Install IMM Premium into the dedicated slot on the system board (see “System-boardoptional-device connectors” on page 29).

2.Turn on the server.
